abstract = {Problem statement: Modern diets high in Saturated Fatty Acids  (SFA) and low in Monounsaturated (MUFA) and Polyunsaturated (PUFA) fatty acids  are mostly blamed for the increased incidence of cardiovascular diseases. Since  dietary fatty acids are absorbed by monogastric animals and deposited in their  tissues without significant modification, considerable potential exists for the  manipulation of the fatty acid profile of poultry meat and eggs. In the present  study, effects of different sources and levels of supplemental fat to low  energy diets on energy and protein intake and efficiency during grower and  finisher periods and cholesterol and Triglyceride (TG) contents of breast and  thigh meat of broiler chicks were investigated. Approach: One hundred and eighty 1 day old Ross 308 broiler chicks  of both sexes were used for 42 days. The chicks were randomly allocated to 15  pens containing 12 chicks each with 3 replicates and assigned to receive one of  the 5 dietary treatments of 2 sources (soybean oil and beef tallow) and 2  levels of fat (20 and 40 g kg-1) in a completely randomized design with  factorial arrangement. There was also a control treatment (without supplemental  fat) in this experiment. All chicks were fed with a commercial starter diet  from 1-10 day, where-after fed with isocaloric and isonitrogenous diets. Results: There were significant  differences in energy and protein intake and energy and protein efficiency  among treatments in all phases of the experiment (p},
